The Civil Service Commission(CSC) on Wednesday, November 27, 2013 releases results of October 13, 2013 Civil Service Exam- Paper and Pencil Test (CSE-PPT) also known as Career service examination in more than a month after the exam. List of passers out of 153,387 registered examinees for professional and sub-professional levels are available here as we update this webpage.

Civil service xamination was administered in 143 testing sites nationwide with 86% taking the Professional level with the rest taking the Subprofessional level according to CSC.

In the recent exam, the biggest number of examinees were from Southern Tagalog with 24,233, grabbing 15.80% of the total number of registered examinees covering both Professional and SubProfessional levels. The National Capital Region (NCR) came in second with 17,628 examinees or 11.49% of the total examinees. Central Luzon (Region III) and Western Visayas (Region VI) also posted large number of examinees at 13,194 and 11,509 comprising 8.60% and 7.50% of the total examinees, respectively.

CSC reported that the figure excludes 5,889 examinees scheduled to take the examinations in Zamboanga City but which has been postponed to November 10, 2013 due to security and safety reasons. The same goes for 1,575 examinees in Bongao, Tawi-Tawi and Lamitan City.

The CSE-PPT is a general ability test designed to measure an individual’s preparedness to enter government service. Examinations are conducted in April and October every year. Passers, who get a score of 80% or higher, are conferred a Career Service Eligibility, a basic requirement to obtain permanent appointment in government.

There are two levels of CSE-PPT, for the professional and sub-professional. Three-hour test for the professional level includes vocabulary, grammar and correct usage, paragraph organization, reading comprehension, analogy, logic, and numerical reasoning (English and Filipino). For the latter, exam coverage is almost the same with the inclusion of clerical operations instead of analogy and logic and timed for 2.5 hours.

Questions for both examination levels include general information on the Philippine Constitution, the Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards for Public Officials and Employees (R.A. 6713), peace and human rights issues and concepts, and environment management and protection.

Last May 27, 2012, results became available by second week of July 2012 or 7 weeks after the last day of exam. Meanwhile, results of April 2013 CSE-PPT were released in less than 2 months from the date of examination.
